FIFA 17 release date, trailer and Frostbite Engine graphics revealed

Electronic Arts has released a teaser trailer for the next FIFA game and the biggest revelation so far is that the graphics have been completely overhauled.

That's because FIFA 17 has been rebuilt from the ground up using the Frostbite graphics engine, as seen in Battlefield games and, more recently, Star Wars Battlefront.

In addition, EA has revealed that the game will be available from 27 September in North America, 29 September everywhere else - a week after the release of the best Pro Evolution Soccer game we've seen in years. PES 2017 itself has had a major graphical refresh, with Metal Gear Solid 5's Fox Engine being used for that game.

We've already played a first-look build of the new PES but will have to wait until E3 2016 starts to get our hands-on FIFA 17. Thankfully, that's this weekend coming.
